Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Han Xiaomei wanted to say something more to the woman, but Li Yu stopped her: "Xiaomei, stop talking."

Han Xiaomei had no choice but to swallow the rest of her words.

The woman looked at Li Yu gratefully.

Li Yu thought about it and decided to help the woman one last time: "The news that Miss Chu is about to get engaged to Mr. He has spread throughout Jiangfu County. Congratulations to Miss Chu for getting her wish. But there are some things I want to share with Miss Chu."

The woman said, "You tell me."

Li Yu looked at her and said, "Nothing in this world is more important than your own body. You should always value yourself and don't put your future entirely in the hands of others. Finally, a few questions, Miss Chu, why did you fall into the water when I saved you? Also, I was far away from you, why did I save you instead of Mr. He? When you fell into the water, did you see anything that you don't see normally?"

The woman opened her mouth and tried to answer.

Li Yu raised her hand to stop her, "Miss Chu, you don't have to tell me your answer. You can think about these words carefully when you go back, especially the last few questions. I hope you can think them through clearly."

The woman walked away thoughtfully.

Han Xiaomei was extremely puzzled. "Second sister-in-law, what did you mean by that just now?"

Li Yu replied briefly: "I just want her to wake up."

That man surnamed He is obviously not a good person. If she really likes Miss Chu, she can go to the Chu family to propose marriage openly. Even if the Chu family does not agree, she can also think of other ways to make them agree.

But he chose the worst way for Miss Chu: to destroy Miss Chu's reputation and force her to marry him.

If he had any affection for Miss Chu, he would not have done this. As a scholar, he could not have been unaware of how strict the Dayu Dynasty was towards women.

So she couldn't help but give Miss Chu some final advice.

That day, when she rescued Miss Chu, Miss Chu should have seen the expression of He Shusheng on the shore, otherwise, when He Shusheng appeared on the shore, she would not have subconsciously hidden behind him. But her love for He Shusheng made her automatically ignore the malice hidden in her daily life.

I hope that after her reminder, Miss Chu can figure it out.

After Miss Chu left, Li Yu waited for the old man selling roses to deliver the roses.

Maybe the old man had something urgent to do, and she waited and waited but no one showed up.

Thinking of the address the old man had told her, she asked Han Zheng and Han Xiaomei to wait here while she went out to see if anything had happened.

However, as soon as Li Yu left the inn, he was stopped by two people.

Both of them were dressed as scholars, one in green and the other in blue. They said to Li Yu, "Madam, can you do us a favor?"

Li Yu wanted to say that she was busy and couldn't help, but the two men didn't give her a chance to answer and directly called the two servants standing on the side of the road to come forward.

Two servants each held a tray with a covered plate on it.

Seeing Li Yu looking over, the scholar in green said, "These are two fried chicken dishes, made using our own recipes. Please taste them and give us your opinion on whether they are good or bad."

Li Yu: “…”

This is the first time I have seen people stopping people on the street to taste food. Jiangfu County is indeed different from Jiangyang County.

If you just want to taste the food, it should be fine and won't take up much time.

Li Yu stopped and asked, "Do you have chopsticks?"

"Yes." The blue-robed scholar ordered the servant to bring chopsticks to Li Yu. "Madam, please feel free to use them. We have prepared more than a dozen pairs of chopsticks. We will never let you use chopsticks that have been used by others!"

This is heartwarming.

Li Yu took the chopsticks and tasted from left to right.

On the left was fried chicken made according to the recipe of the blue-robed scholar. Li Yu tasted it and frowned.

After swallowing this bite, she tried the dish of the blue-robed scholar. This dish was better, but the chicken was not handled well and was overcooked.

Li Yu put down his chopsticks and looked at the two of them, "Gentlemen, do you want me to tell the truth?"

"nature."

Judging from their situation and the reactions of passers-by, they should do this kind of thing often. Li Yu considered it for a moment and said, "Yesterday's was not fishy enough, and the one on the right was not cooked well. But if we have to choose a good one, the one on the right is slightly better."

Two scribes: "......"

I still have to go find the old man, Li Yu said, and waited for a few breaths, then nodded and left.

The two scribes stood there, looking at her, and then at each other.

Finally, the scholar in blue said, "It seems that neither of us has finished writing today's prescription. But Brother Liang, do you think that woman just now looks familiar?"

The blue-robed scholar said, "It does look familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere."

At this time, the servant standing in front of the blue-clothed scholar said with a smile: "Master, that woman is the owner of Li Ji Food Store in Jiangyang County. The last time we went to Jiangyang County, we specially bought the braised pork intestines from Li Ji Food Store. Have you forgotten?"

The scholar in blue slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, it's her!"

The blue-robed scholar said, "I forgot to ask her just now. Since she can point out the flaws of the dish, she must have a way to make it delicious. What a pity!"

San spoke at a normal volume, so these two sentences were heard by a person dressed as a maid who was passing by.

She looked at the inn, then at the direction Li Yu left, and shock flashed in her eyes.

Li Yu met the old man and his son on the way. There were twenty-two roses in total, loaded on two carts.

Because the branches were all useful and could not be cut, Li Yu discussed with the old man whether the roses could be delivered directly to her home.

"I'll give you two hundred more coins," she said.

The old man discussed it with his son and finally decided: "We can send you, but you have to wait a while. We will go back and change the donkey cart."

Li Yu: "Okay."

The old man immediately asked his son to go home with him. He could earn 200 coins just by going to Jiangyang County. This deal was a good deal!

*

There was one car coming here and three cars leaving.

As there were so many cars and we were afraid that the flowers would fall, we went back slower than when we came, and it took us two and a half hours to get home.

Because there are no roses in Nanzhou Prefecture, when the villagers first saw the flowers, they all gathered around.

"Xiu Wen wife, what kind of flower is this? It's blooming so beautifully."

"Not only are they beautiful, they are also fragrant. Where did you buy these flowers? They must have been expensive to buy so many of them."

"Look at this flower blooming. It has so many petals."

It was already afternoon, and the old man and his son had to go home. Li Yu was afraid that they would go back too late, so she didn't chat with everyone for long. After she unloaded the flowers on the ground and paid the two of them, she slowly answered everyone's questions.

"This is a wandering flower, but I prefer to call it a rose." She said, "I bought it in Jiangfu County this time. As for the price, it's not cheap."

Several women originally wanted to ask Li Yu for one each, but when they heard that it was not cheap, they immediately suppressed the idea.

Li Yu also noticed that someone wanted it, so he thought about it and said nothing.

More than twenty rose plants may seem like a lot, but in fact they are not a lot at all. Before we are sure how they grow in the natural environment, we cannot give them away casually.
